Cavaliers General Manager David Griffin told the AP that the team has made plans for a “group that wants to be elsewhere to be together elsewhere,”

This news followed the news that three other NBA teams, the Milwaukee Bucks, Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks, announced they would no longer stay at Trump branded hotels.

James made no secret of his endorsement for Hilary, he had previously wrote:

“If basketball has taught me anything, it’s that no one achieves greatness alone. And it takes everyone working together to create real change,”
